  • Flowable composition adapted for sintering and method of making
    Patent number: 4491559
    Abstract: A flowable material, or slurry, comprising a liquid vehicle and solid particulate material dispersed therein which will flow out flat in the form of a sheet. The material, upon exposure to the atmosphere, and either with or without the application of heat, will set up in a dimensionally stable form and can, thereafter, be sintered to form a solid article. The fraction of the vehicle of the composition which remains after the solvent evaporates, vaporizes during sintering and the final product consists only of the particulate material in sintered form.
    Type: Grant
